My Favorite Eyeshadows: Purple

By Sheila Arkee

Purple eyeshadow was the first color that I bonded with in my makeup loving life. Although I had been long fascinated with makeup, I never really experimented with colors until I received an entire makeup kit from JC Penny upon my high school graduation.

The makeup was generic and not the best quality, but the variety of colors gave me a chance to experiment and figure out which colors I liked best on my brown eyes. Purple was the winner, and ever since purple eyeshadow has had a big place in my heart. Here are the purple shadows that have earned the distinction of being my favorite.

Sketch will always, always, always be one of my very favorite shadows. It’s perfection, plain and simple. A burgundy purple, it makes a great contrast shade in the outer corner for every one. Yes, everyone. It’s versatile and can be used as a smoky lid shade and also as a liner.
